The sensor that recognizes if the laptop is closed sits on the left, next to the audio jack. If you get a magnet within 2-3 cm of it, it triggers and the screen turns off. Seems like the magnet in the lid of the other laptop is just close enough.
Seems like a fun prank. Couple strong magnets under someone's desk and now their desk is cursed. What fun
Yep, there’s a hall-effect sensor in there. My watch band does the same thing to several laptops. Pretty annoying but not really a problem.
